Review of Baltic 37

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

The boat is equipped with 8 berths.

The Baltic 37 has been built with different keel alternatives.

Unknown keel type

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.10 - 2.20 meter (6.89 - 7.19 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The Baltic 37 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

Baltic 37 can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.03 - 2.13 meter (6.66 - 6.96 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD11C diesel engine at 24 hp (17 kW). Calculated max speed is about 5.3 knots

The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 80.0 liters (21 US gallons, 17 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Baltic 37 is 2.01, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.2 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Baltic 37 is about 215 kg/cm, alternatively 1208 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 215 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1208 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 38m 2 (409 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

BALTIC 37 The target for our Baltic 37 design was to produce a high performance, comfortable, easily handled yacht capable of offshore racing as well as offshore cruising at a size which could be best described as a “small one-tonner”. Characteristics were very much in line with the successful Baltic 39, while embodying changes aimed towards improved upwind and downwind performance especially in medium to light wind conditions. The deck design offered a handsome low profile and companionway entrance with easy access from the cockpit. The interior layout was quite unique for a boat of this size with an aft cabin as well as a full stand-up head. The production of the Baltic 37 spanned the years 1978 to 1983.

1980 Baltic Yachts 37 – NOW SOLD

Posted Friday 16th October 2020

Grabau International  is delighted to announce the sale of the  1980 Baltic Yachts 37 ‘NINA ‘

Beautifully maintained and heavily upgraded example of the classic C&C designed Baltic Yachts 37. One of 51 examples built between 1978 and 1983.

FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

With her classic and timeless hull lines care of C&C Design Group and her legendary build quality from Baltic Yachts in Finland, NINA comes close to being the ‘ultimate’ 37ft ocean cruising yacht. One of 51 examples built, NINA has been blessed with caring owners who have not been shy to spend money to keep her in great shape. In recent seasons, NINA has benefitted from a comprehensive refit/update program including:- • Replacement teak decks in 2013 • Replacement rod standing rigging in 2006 • Fitment of inner forestay and staysail • Upgraded sail wardrobe • New Raymarine electronics • Upgraded safety equipment for offshore cruising • New batteries and battery charger

DESIGNER’S COMMENTS:

Our target for our new Baltic 37 is to produce and high performance, comfortable, easy handle yacht capable of offshore racing as well as offshore cruising at a size which could best describe as “a small one-tonner”. Characteristics are very much in line with the successful BALTIC 39 while embodying changes aimed towards improved upwind and downwind performance.

The bow shape is typical of our recent work, being reasonably deep and very sharp to facilitate good performance in a seaway, with powerful forward sections to provide good directional stability. Amidships, the hull incorporates a rather narrow beam waterline with significantly wider beam at deck level. This adds hull form stability as well as good downwind performance and makes for a roomy and comfortable interior as well. The full aft sections are fair and undistorted. Here we have incorporated plenty of volume for added sailing length when heeled and at high speeds, but have oriented it in such a way that steering and handling will be easier on a power reach. In recent years we have been concentrating in this particular area in order to achieve off wind boat speed without the normal tendency towards strong weather helm. These characteristics result in a handsome and practical hull which performs veil in all weather conditions and is easily controlled.

The keel design is the result of hydrodynamic analysis tempered with experience. Careful attention is paid to the location and volume of the keel in accordance with the longitudinal distribution of the hull’s volume. In this way we match the keel to the particular characteristics of the hull. This keel is rather deep with a draft of 2.06 metres and incorporates our new tip shape which offers the best combination of lift and drag. The centre of gravity of the ballast is low. Providing good sailing stability without having to resort to a higher ballast ratio. This combination with Baltic’s proven ability to build down to a given weight, assures us of good upwind stability in a light beat. The rudder, again, is a deep, high aspect ratio fin with close attention paid to its control effectiveness for a high degree of manoeuvreability, while avoiding any propensity to stall.

The most striking characteristic of the deck layout on the BALTIC 37 is the handsome low profile and the happy compromise of the companionway entrance. This arrangement allows for excellent accommodations below with easy access from the cockpit. The latter incorporates comfortable sea-ting, good storage for a life raft, and horseshoe Life rings. Instruments are housed in a comprehensive spray-hood while opening hatches provide good ventilation below.

Rig design is again a result of close study of the characteristics of this boat as well as thorough knowledge of aerodynamic principals. The spar section itself is a new design which t by delaying separation around its leeward side, minimizes drag while increasing lift. The spreaders intersect the spar without the at heavy spreader bases of other manufacturers mid the shrouds are fastened to the spar internally for minimum windage. The rig is tall for this yacht’s size but with good stability and a solid hull shape she should perform well in both light airs and heavy conditions.

Interior layout is quite unique for a boat of this size – providing an aft cabin as well as a full stand–up head, With careful incorporation of cabin shape and companion-way, there is good headroom in the comfortable aft cabin as well a the head compartment which is opposite on the port side. The owner’s cabin embodies a full double berth, shelf, bureau and settee in a closable ventilated area. The chart table and galley are amidships, concentrating all of the heavy accommodations in the middle of the sailing length, thus minimizing pitching in a seaway. The main cabin has four large berths and a full-size dinette; there are vee-berths with a bureau and hanging locker in the forward cabin. Flanking the port side of the companionway is an oilskin locker with additional storage space beneath the companionway as well.

This yacht is typical of those built by Baltic Yacht and displays excellence in its interior finish with varnished teak on most surfaces. Fittings of the highest quality are used throughout and the builder’s thorough execution extends to all corners of the yacht. The construction includes the use of balsa core in both hull and deck. Unidirectional roving is used in many areas where it is orientated in the direction of the applied loadings. Thorough bonding of bulkheads to both hull and deck assure a comprehensive structural unit that can withstand any weather conditions which might be encountered.

We wish her new owners fair winds and following seas.

What people say about our yachts

Liara is a complete level above anything else I have built in the past and I don’t know any yard that could deliver a yacht of this complexity virtually on time and to that extremely high quality.

Owner, Baltic 112 Liara

For me, Baltic means a fantastic team of people that is challenging itself all the time in order to build more advanced, more sophisticated, faster and lighter "high performance" yachts than any other yacht builder. They never say no as an answer, they come up with solutions!

Owner, Baltic 112 Nilaya

When I was making my choice of builder, I concluded that the Baltic 67 had been far better thought through than similar yachts. A key requirement for my new yacht was high quality of build.

Owner, Baltic 67 Manyeleti

OUR AWARD WINNING YACHTS

In total our yachts have amassed thirty-three awards by various organisations including the ShowBoat Design Awards, the International Superyacht Society Awards and the World Superyacht Awards. Each yacht’s ability to perform equally well in cruise and race mode, together with Baltic Yachts’ ability to bring design alive, have consistently impressed the judges.

PASSION FOR INNOVATION

HYDROGENERATION

Using an electric motor for a yacht’s auxiliary propulsion has become popular as the need for more environmentally acceptable power increases. A great advantage of using an electric motor is that it can work as a generator by harnessing energy from the ‘free-wheeling’, controllable pitch propeller when the yacht is sailing. The electric motor becomes a generator, which charges a battery bank and in turn supplies power to the sailing systems and services aboard the yacht.
